How To Read Chinese GB/T 1335 Size Labels | Size‑Hub Knowledge Guide

Introduction

Every official‑sized Chinese women’s garment carries a GB/T 1335 label such as 160/84A. Many international shoppers do not understand what these numbers and letters stand for. This guide breaks down each part of the Chinese national size label.

Breakdown of 160/84A

• 160: Recommended height range in centimetres for this garment
• 84: Net bust circumference measurement (cm) — your core body‑size reference
• A: Body‑shape code, stands for standard, average figure. Other common codes: B‑plus‑figure, C‑full‑figure, Y‑slim‑figure

Critical Rule

GB/T 1335 labels are built on net‑body measurements. They do not represent finished flat‑lay garment width. Extra wearing ease will always be added by clothing manufacturers.

Common Misunderstanding

You do not need to be exactly 160 cm tall to wear a 160/84A top. The bust measurement 84 cm is your most important selection factor, while the height number is just a loose recommendation.
